I'm currently launching an asynchronous job with PHP to perform some tests.
To make it work, I found on SO some tips, like the use of popen and start:
$commande = "testu.bat";
$pid = popen('start /B ' . $commande, 'r');
$status = pclose($pid);
The testu.bat's folder is in my user PATH.
This script performs some task, and to control it's execution, it should generates a log file, but I never get it.
Whereas if I just remove the /B option, it works fine and I get my log file.
Did I miss something about background execution? How can I catch the error informations when it is running in the background?
